~"Every sleepy light Must say goodbye To the day before it dies In a sea of honey A sky of honey Keep us close to your heart So if the skies stay dark We may live on in Comets and stars" - Kate Bush - Sunset ~

For some strange reason i just noticed that puppies are one of the most my favorite flower to paint. Perhaps it may be because of amazing colors and that spring feelings that they bring all that beauty and light...

I just love to play with flowers and lights, it's always result is so interesting.. :)

"Is what I am in a dream or reality?

I can’t tell…it seems as if it were reality, this reality would be more like a dream than what you would call reality.

Hidden
behind all swirls or silver and gold, beyond of which over passes the
purple polka-dotted mountains; there must be something, or someone, who
can tell me if I am in a dream or reality.

Past
the green oceans forever changing currants, on the other side of the
gigantic bright pink jungle with its strange beasts; there must be
something or someone, who can tell me if I am in a dream or reality.

Over
looking the upside down skies of vivid orange and neon blue clouds,
surpassing the upside right ground of grayish brown clay; there must be
something or someone, who can tell me if I am in a dream or reality.

My favorite thing this days, is is play with colors creating moods, moments of life in nature... All that magic and wonder full of mystery and beauty in every second of difrent light and mood, nature is truly greatest master of all..

The golden spring redeems the withered year,
And wherefore should my spirit be afraid
Though autumn winds wail through the smoky shade
And chill me like the fleeting ghost of fear?
Sweet love of youth, I know that thou must fade,
I know what nameless spectres hover near,
And that the loveliness I hold so dear,
Borrowed from dust, to ashes must be paid.

Yet linger still over these wasted meadows
Faint shreds of song, and scattered scents of flowers,
And from the heart's abyss of deepening shadows
Rise the young passions of immortal hours.
The golden spring its withered year redeems;
Sleep comes at last, but sleep made rich with dreams.

"If you live a life of make-believe, your life isn't worth anything until you do something that does challenge your reality. And to me, sailing the open ocean is a real challenge, because it's life or death."- Morgan Freeman

"Red moment"

watercolors on paper

Somehow i feel that this poem open so much the concept behind this work...

Red SunsetIn the red sunset he stoodstaring at the canvas,a painting he had not seen for decadeswhich he promised he would not see again.But there he stood and stared,he bit hard on the end of his meerschaum pipeand glared at the sign “pas de fumer!”

And he could overhear excited voices en francais’italiano, English… 'there he is" … before his own painting!

In the red sunset he stood, and his mind was made to travelback in time over the days spent making this piece of art.

He remembered the woman of his life.She who brought his art to the skin of his body,to air and sunlight;where it would wash over the world in beauty, she did this.

The afternoon he spent slaving at his easelwhen she came in the roomand looked at his painted hands and face;she put both hands on his face and kissed him.

She made love to him with a passion and firethat still made him tremble;how her hands reached out to the wallsand left painted handprints on the canvas,

How like beads of perspiration she kissed from his facegone.They laughed at the artwork of their passion. Masterpiece!

And how she said, “this is goodbye”.

In the red sunset he stoodstaring at the canvas,a painting he had not seen for decades,which he promised his heart he would not see again.

i think those words of Ernest Hemingway so well explain ny mood and what i wanted to achieve here...

“You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintery light. But you knew there would always be the spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person died for no reason.”― Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

when i painted this i get such a feeling that must to paint something like this full of colors fantasy of dreamy or perhaps real view in nature... dreams or reality all the same in eyes of imagination.

“All that is gold does not glitter,Not all those who wander are lost;The old that is strong does not wither,Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,A light from the shadows shall spring;Renewed shall be blade that was broken,The crownless again shall be king.”― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

in some leves I have in mind painting of Edvard Munch "The Scream" but wanted to do this painitng more imaginary more magical.. How nature react on spring come..

"Colorful explosion"

Digital painting on mobile.

This
is my first try of combining two paintings of different app and create
something its own.. play and testing new mixed stuff with shapes and
colors. it was realy fun! hope you enjoy of what this mixed experiment created..

"Midsummer night flower or creature at the night"

Digital painting on mobile.

my inspiration to create this work was this awesome song of finnish bandKorpiklaani

" Growing up with the wild bears
Breathing the smell of burning wood
Rain and clouds my only friends
Sun and moon and stars and light

Now it's time of a midnight sun
The eternal light and a breathing night
Call the gods with bones and drum
Join the shaman's magic

Flames are dancing in the night
The shadows seem to be alive
The forest is calling my name"

~"You fail to break the silence Most prefer the calm before the storm You choose cities over islands I'm returning to the place where I was born at home In the wild to the wild We'll self-destruct together I'm part of you now In the wild to the wild We'll self-destruct together It's all over now" - Gossip - Into The Wild ~

"Lighthouse at sunset"

watercolors on paper

Imagination of how Lightnouse may look at sunset..

“Man must behave like a lighthouse; he must shine day and night for the goodness of everyman.”― Mehmet Murat ildan

"Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams."-Ashley Smith

"The
artist is the confidant of nature, flowers carry on dialogues with him
through the graceful bending of their stems and the harmoniously tinted
nuances of their blossoms. Every flower has a cordial word which nature
directs towards him." ~Auguste Rodin

I am absolutely agree with what Augustine say, for me its very important to feel that connection with flower and and bring all that gorgeous beauty on canvas, so i can share that joy with everyone...

“We clear the harbor and the wind catches her sails and my beautiful ship leans over ever so gracefully, and her elegant bow cuts cleanly into the increasing chop of the waves. I take a deep breath and my chest expands and my heart starts thumping so strongly I fear the others might see it beat through the cloth of my jacket. I face the wind and my lips peel back from my teeth in a grin of pure joy.”― L.A. Meyer, Under the Jolly Roger: Being an Account of the Further Nautical Adventures of Jacky Faber

That Quote so perfectly open this painting all that atmosphere and feel of life...

I tried to capture the passion and power of life with in this colors and brush strokes. all that daily drama and joy, beauty, time that we have on this earth. Through symbolic language and all those face and character that hidden in this simply at first look painting! of course at the end it just painting of single flower.. but that what we are just single individuals who walkin on road of life...

Detail

i would like to call this detail "a kiss" becouse there is definitely tso fase the red area that is part of flower looks like blushing face and the othere right in hte left kissing tha red face. But if you search for more you will find more datails and all kind characters that just jump from to painting..

What a romantic thing to sail at springtime sun just star slowly shine and get everyday more and more warmer after long winter. And that joy and feeling of freedom when you sail in open sea kind of give you drunk feeling of life! In a way that is one point of view that i wanted to capture in this painting!

Detail of painting.

Like in almost all my paintings also here you can find lots of hidden details. yo only need to open imagination and start to search. For example in htis details right in the meddle you can find huge smiling face with beard and on left on that looks like a line of warriors who come out from the water with spears...
